I try to install two hobbit servers that shared the data directory. What do you think about?
You cannot run to hobbit servers off the same data directory. There is no file locking in hobbit, so you would easily end up with garbage files.
Do you think it's possible to force the restore status, for one server, every xx seconds from the file hobbitd.chk?
Sorry Marco, but I simply cannot figure out what it is you are trying to accomplish with this setup. I have a strong feeling that you are doing something very simple in an extremely complicated way.
I *think* you want to setup a server with two sets of hosts - one set is for use by one group, and another set is used by a different group.
If you want these two completely separate, setup two full Hobbit installations - two userid's, two server-directories, two data-directories, everything completely separate. When you build the two installations, build them with different BBPORT settings so you can have both hobbitd's running at the same time - or better: If you have extra IP addresses available, let each of them have their own IP address so you don't need to worry about changing port numbers. If everything runs on the same server, you can use 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2 !
Each installation runs his own network tests, so they will also be separate.
The only problem I see is if you want data from client installations. That's where you use bbproxy. Set it up to receive client messages, and forward them to both of the two hobbit daemons.
